The cost of copying a work is more than 50,000 yuan, so will anyone sell it for 50,000 or 100,000 yuan?
Definitely not, so why is this fish and algae pattern garlic bottle not recognized? After all, it has the inscription "Privy" on it!
Let’s talk about the colorful fish and algae pattern garlic bottles, because this kind of thing is generally considered to be an innovative porcelain of the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, large pieces of colored porcelain such as the general fish-and-algae-patterned garlic vase were all newly created during the Wanli period.
This is now recognized by many people, so if the word Privy appears on it, this is not a bonus, but will make people think that it is an unqualified imitation.
Is this also the reason why this garlic bottle was not taken out at first?
Of course, the three pieces of Yuan Dynasty egg-white glazed porcelain with solid gold craftsmanship sold for 300,000 yuan may also have this reason.
In fact, the antique shop is afraid of this kind of half-baked jealousy. You say he doesn't understand, but he really knows a lot.
However, if you want to say that he is proficient, he is really not good at it.
Just like now, Chen Wenzhe missed something when he was half-learned.
Only those who are truly proficient in learning will know that in addition to those decorated with fish and algae patterns, this kind of bottles are also decorated with mandarin ducks, lotus patterns and dragon piercing patterns.
This colorful garlic vase with fish and algae patterns from the Yuan Dynasty has nothing to do with the Wanli blue and white colorful style from the Ming Dynasty.
Even it is completely different from the early five colors.
The color used in the former has a strong decorative effect, and the colors are mostly saturated colors such as red, yellow, green, and purple, instead of light intermediate colors, and the colors are red, rich, and green.
The brush used in painting is bold and unrestrained, and the lines are strong and powerful.
For a bottle like this, if you add 100,000 yuan, it will be a huge profit.
"It's very beautiful. Okay, I'll keep my word, it's only three hundred thousand."
The young boss was so happy that Chen Wenzhe couldn't let anyone say anything, so he happily agreed to pay 300,000 yuan.
Now, for him, three hundred thousand is not much different from thirty cents.
As long as he can buy something he likes, it doesn't matter how much it costs.
Not to mention anything else, it was just the small bowl that Chen Wenzhe saw first. If he was willing to put it up for auction, it could be sold for 70 to 80 million yuan.
A bowl is worth more than 70 million yuan? Apart from some enamels and large porcelains of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, who else from other dynasties?
Is it the Chenghua doucai of the Ming Dynasty? Now there is an additional one.
In the Yuan Dynasty, in addition to Yuan blue and white, there was also an egg white glaze and gold-finished craft porcelain.
After all, this kind of porcelain has only been seen in historical records before, and the real thing has never been seen.
Of course, there are definitely not none left now, because they were auctioned before.
It was a "Yuan Dynasty egg-white glaze secretly engraved multicolored gold bowl" that was sold in Shendu for 7.47 million in October 2014.
Although the style of the piece in Chen Wenzhe's hands is slightly different, he still suspects that the two belong to the same type.
Although Chen Wenzhe has never seen the auction item, judging from the workmanship and shape, his bowl should be similar to the sky-high price bowl.
This small bowl has a squat structure and an egg white glaze.
If you look carefully, it has a little bit of cyan, which gives it an antique look.
The most eye-catching thing is that its surface is decorated with a large number of raised gold, green and other patterns, which is magnificent.
The price of such a small bowl itself is not low. If there are other similar types that have been sold for sky-high prices, then the price of his small bowl cannot be lower no matter what.
The price of this kind of thing will not drop just because there is one more one in existence. After all, even if there is one more one, there are only two in the world.
Also, if you add the other goblet and garlic bottle, if the set is auctioned, the price may be higher. After all, they are different types of vessels, but the craftsmanship is the same.
With such a big harvest, Chen Wenzhe was very happy to pay.
However, after the transfer was successful, he was a little dumbfounded when he saw the young boss's arrogant operation.
Because in the blink of an eye, the boss brought two large colorful cans and placed them in front of Chen Wenzhe.
"Boss, I think you are an expert at first glance. How about taking a look at these two large colorful jars?"
Looking at the two large colorful jars, Chen Wenzhe was a little silent.
The styles of these two pieces are somewhat similar to those of the Ming Dynasty, but they are definitely not the colorful colors of the Ming Dynasty, but the colorful colors of the Yuan Dynasty.
The colorful production techniques of the Yuan Dynasty are definitely not comparable to those of the Ming Dynasty.
The most important thing is that these two large jars do not use the gold-hardening process, so they are not as magnificent as the gold-hardened small bowls.
However, he knew about the colorful porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, but it seemed to be very rare. After all, this kind of porcelain was not very outstanding in the Yuan Dynasty.
Of course, that is relative to Yuan blue and white, Yuan Dynasty underglaze red and Yuan blue and white underglaze red.
As mentioned before, people generally believed that colorful porcelain was created and fired by Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, this view is not consistent. Some people previously believed that the five-color porcelain of Jingzhen kiln in the Ming Dynasty was first fired in the Xuande Dynasty.
Some people still believe that it was fired in a small amount in the early Ming Dynasty and the middle Ming Dynasty, and became very popular in the late Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli dynasties.
It can also be said that the colorful porcelain of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty is the most famous.
In fact, the development of multicolored porcelain started very early, not only in the Yuan Dynasty, but also in the Jin Dynasty.
The determination of the five-color porcelain of the Jin Dynasty provided complete conditions for the selection of color materials, firing technology and firing process for the development of multi-colored porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty.
At present, the ancient literature information about the firing of red and green porcelain in the Jingzhen area of the Yuan Dynasty can only be found in the "Gu Rao Ware" entry in Cao Zhao's "Gegu Yaolun" in the early Ming Dynasty.
There is a description like this: "In the Yuan Dynasty, those who burned small foot prints had the word "Privacy" inside and were taller. The newly burned ones were large enough, while the plain ones were less moist. Those with blue and white and five-color flowers were very common."
The discovery and introduction of multicolored porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty only started in recent years domestically.
The colorful porcelain produced in Jingzhen during the Yuan Dynasty has been discovered and recognized by some experts at home and abroad who specialize in ancient ceramics and a few people in the industry who collect ancient porcelain.
Ye Peilan, a research librarian at the Palace Museum and an expert on porcelain, pointed out in the book "Famous Colorful Porcelain": The study of multicolored porcelain on glaze in the Yuan Dynasty is a new topic in the academic world.
From the excavation of Dadu ruins in the Yuan Dynasty and the discovery of porcelain in cellars of the Yuan Dynasty, there are very few traces of multicolored porcelain with glaze.
Ye Lao described in his book that he encountered the colorful porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty among the people.
Also refer to the discussions in Ye Zhemin's "Outline of the History of Chinese Ceramics" and Jiang Qi's "Tao Ji".
It can be concluded that the Yuan Dynasty, based on the multicolored porcelain of the Jin Dynasty, has developed more exquisite multicolored porcelain than the previous generation.
Based on archaeological discoveries in recent years, shipwreck salvage, and research on examples of Yuan Dynasty multicolored porcelain collected in museums at home and abroad, the industry agrees that the firing of overglaze multicolored porcelain at Jingzhen kiln began in the Yuan Dynasty.
However, no research results have been published so far on the historical status of colorful porcelain products in the Yuan Dynasty.
Therefore, there are divergent opinions in the industry, and there is no consistent identification opinion on archaeological specimens and handed down items.
